AdF.ly : shortens url + Making Money

Register here.

How does it work?

Shortened URLs are a great way to link to other websites, they look something like http://adf.ly/abc and they are a 'shortcut' for a real website address. When somebody visits a shortened link through adf.ly, they will see a full page advert on their screen for 5 seconds. Then afterwards a SKIP button will appear in the top right-hand corner of the browser and when the user clicks this button, they are automatically redirected to the real destination website. The best part about using the adf.ly service is that you get paid for each visitor that views an advert AND the user still gets to the real destination.

To create your own adf.ly links, just login by clicking here, with the details above and enter any destination website in the large white box - then hit the Shrink! button. Your shortened URL will now be displayed for you to copy-n-paste anywhere you like. You could replace links on your blog with adf.ly links to generate more money or use them on Twitter where space is tight. There are many possibilities to earn money with adf.ly links, just by placing them where you would usually put normal links!

How much will I earn?

Me in 30 Seconds


A “me in 30 seconds” statement is a simple way to prepare to someone else a balanced understanding of who you are. It piques the interest of a listener who invites you to ‘tell something about yourself’ and provides a brief yet compelling answer to the “Why should I hire you?” question.
So, your ‘me in 30 seconds’ statement should include:

# 1. A brief personal introduction that includes your career objectives or the type of position you want.

# 2. Three or four specific accomplishments that you meet or exceed the requirement of that position.

# 3. A few character traits or adaptive skills that set you apart from typical applicants.

When networking, end your statement with probing questions.

Second and subsequent job interviews


More and more companies are using multiple job interviews to select employees these days. The objective of these interviews is to carry out a more detailed evaluation and will typically assess:

@1 Intellectual capacity –To determine the intelligence of the applicant.

@2 Personality or psychological summary – To determine the character or professionalism.

@3 Motivation – To understand the determination and perseverance.

@4 Management ability – To assess the ability to manage workload and co-employees.

Jingle Bells Lyrics, Christmas Song + video

Artist: Jingle Bells lyrics
Title: Jingle Bells    

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

INTERVIEW POSER: WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK HERE?


 
You are facing the interview and things are going great. Just when you think it is about to finish, the interviewer asks, “what are the reasons you want to work here?” If you are not prepared for this question ‘it could be devastating. This is why it is imperative that you be prepared for this. How? By researching in the company, in its past, in its present, in its plans for future. Though the answer is seemingly simple, like you want to work there because it is a good place to work in and you can do a good job there, it actually is not so simple to put it across in such a way that it should boost your chances to land the job.

When you answer this question you should keep in mind that the aim of this interview is to find the best fit candidate for the job. Remember that everything that you say should center on that aspect. Hence, when you answer this question you need to describe how your past experience, skills and expertise made you think that you could be an effective and efficient member of the company’s team.

For example, if you are a good marketing strategist, you could mention how your past marketing techniques and negotiating skills have brought you success in your field, and how you think that such skills would be sharpened by the advanced know- how of the future organization where you could get better results. Always use your answer to show that you know about the company, its products and requirements and you are ready to do what it takes to promote that goal. For this purpose you need to research well the company, goals, and mission, vision its past five year’s financial performance and future plans. A person who is well informed about the company is very much interested in it. This is the message that goes to the interviewer and this is the message that s/he should get it.

Employers of big company’s not only love to hear their praises, they expect it. Be sure that you include a bit of subtle flattery in your answer; however the flattery should be subtle as otherwise it will look cheap and backfire.

You can always say that the company has always been your dream company but did not apply till you thought that you have achieved a certain amount of skill set and experience so you could contribute to the growth and future of the company. You could say that till that time, thought you searched for opportunity, you never got a job that would exactly fit to your skills set as well as the present job and so on.

Keep in mind that whatever you say should focus on your fit with the company and not vice-versa. The interviewer should be left with the impression that you have done your homework and are convinced that you can be a useful part of the team. Project yourself as a willing and deserving candidate who can promote the aim and goals of the company. And that should be your answer, a person who want to be part of the company because they believe they can be part of its growth.
